Defenseman Mark Streit, the PP quarterback who's done that and more for the Isles, has made the All Star Eastern Conference roster as a reserve, and is going back to Montreal for the game.

Streit leads all NHL defensemen with 33 points, as well as leading the team, and has tied a career-high this season with seven PP goals. He also regularly leads the Isles in ice time, and has developed his defensive game quite a bit more since signing with the Isles in the summer. He has become the first Swiss player to go to the All Star Game.
